- Reposted by Dylan RothThe plan is to release these every week, usually on Monday, but given that our first issue came out yesterday, we're splitting the difference and giving you what we've got for the rest of the week. .
- I’m really proud of my latest episode of The Pod Universe, which is apparently the scariest thing I’ve ever written! It’s pretty friendly to new viewers and listeners if you want to jump on here.
- Our horrifying sci-fi thriller MERGE CONFLICT concludes this Sunday. Tune in on YouTube or your podcast app of choice to see how Grant deals with his mind being overwritten by a variant from a darker world! thepoduniverse.com
- Reposted by Dylan RothI just used the original AI, the human brain, to ‘generate’ an imagining of a freshly baked apple pie cooling on a windowsill. Unfortunately, the LLM in my mind also hallucinated a pie _thief_. I now understand all too well the dangers of this powerful and frightening technology.
- Submitted for your approval

- Like The Bob Emergency, @jonbois.bsky.social’s The History of Charging the Mound shows that, under the right lens, anyone can be a folk hero.

- Reposted by Dylan RothWhat’s that, you say? The box office success story of the year is a cosmic horror about one guy in a single room? Interesting. One wonders where you could see more such films.
- Reposted by Dylan RothPod Universe is one of the best podcasts for folks who like not just narrative fiction, but also hearing how the sausage got made! Join the patreon, experience my second full length script. A mix of saturday morning cartoon silliness with grindhouse levels of action and gore!
- THE POD UNIVERSE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! Every week, our fans on Discord host readings of their own scripts, some of which are set in the Dark or Pod Universes! Join the community and listen in at patreon.com/dylananddalton
- Puerto Rico staged a walk-off comeback in the opening game against Mexico Verde which means Baseball is Back, Baby
- Two games in a row, Puerto Rico is a dead fish for two hours and then turns it into a 9th inning thriller! They lost this one, but they are rewarding my investment which is all I expect from any baseball team, let alone one I am only following for a week.
- It took a while but they’re finally rebooting the Red Scare! Looking forward to HUAC: Legacy — Culture War, Part One

- Reposted by Dylan RothFor Dylan’s latest movie pitch, Merge Conflict, he had to dig down into his deepest fears as a parent. The result is possibly the scariest psychological horror film we’ve done on the pod so far. If you haven’t listened yet, Part 1 is now streaming on YouTube and podcatchers everywhere!
- Adobe Premiere Pro is getting so buggy that I'm thinking about jumping ship. I'm too dependent on multi-camera editing tools to switch back to DiVinci Resolve at this point but if anyone's happy with another pro-level alternative I'm open to moving as soon as my Adobe subscription runs out

- The first half of MERGE CONFLICT — which despite my doubts I have been assured is DEFINITELY a horror story — is now streaming. This episode of @thepoduniverse.com should be pretty friendly to new listeners. It’s a standalone story and we explain any context you might need.
- Reposted by Dylan RothThis right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

And for us to remember their names.
- Reposted by Dylan RothThe goal of fascism within a liberal state is it ultimately will violently reestablish a status quo of power. It will eventually fail, and in its wake, liberals will step in and claim “we beat facism, all is better now” while inheriting and sustaining this new status quo of social hierarchy.
- Listen, I want consequences up and down the chain of command, but demanding that Kristi Noem be fired over Minneapolis is like demanding Dedra Meero be fired over Ghorman. Like, yeah, get her, but like…then what
